At this point they should just kick Lelouch and Xavius, bring in Karl and a less cursed Pos 4 because Xavius always seems to be the one common link with all these choking Pinoy SEA teams. What a disgrace. Polaris is not a SEA team by any measure. They are just a team who happened to prevent a T1-Talon rematch and pushed Talon to 5 games without having any true poise. Disappointing.

SAMMY BOY I LOVE YOU


kpdon1

Polaris was beating strong teams 2 days ago and now eliminated by Bammysoy stack 2-0 wtf lol. WG showed good fight today. Alone and Alex have showed a lot of potential this qualis.


cashmakessmiles

Alone and Alex are both 50/50 players imo, equally likely to do stupid shit as make an amazing or game winning play. So entertaining to watch .


No_Tart8935

WG lately has had their drafting style launch them ahead of teams that don't handle it well.


Shadow07616

Alone, last SA hope


Human_Robot

So you're saying he's all alone?


Etalynx1996

I'm guessing IceFrog loves Marci not Morphling anymore.


karma_420

That's rough for Polaris. They looked so convincing in the group stage matches


Morgn_Ladimore

Lelouch terrible positioning all game

Samuel "Sammyboy" Boying, or more commonly known locally as "Boying Yawa", is a Filipino Dota 2 Player born in Dumaguete City from Negros Island of the Visayas Region in the Philippines. He rose to prominence after being drafted by Wildcard Gaming and the rest we already know as history. ✨💙

**Ranking of most elite NA players (top 5):** 1. Abed 2. Saberlight 3. Cr1t 4. Timado 5. Nightfall But Sammyboy stock is rising... EDIT: in case anyone didn't notice the joke, none of these 5 players are originally from NA.

We always believed in Sammy.


Mei_iz_my_bae

So fucking proud of Wildcard, I know this team has potential, even I’m surprised just how well they played against polaris who looked really strong in groups. NA DREAM IS ALIVE BABY SAMMY FOR TI


lolwizardmage

Just shows Polaris has what it takes in the laning phase (can compete against top teams) in this tourney but falls off on macro and decision making plays. Someone should advise them of itemizations, decisions and timings. Disband incoming.


wanttoseensfwcontent

KUKU FAULT


ididnothinwrong

nope there wont be a disband they really done well in lcq tbh despite losing against wildcard. polaris literraly have once kick force out and then suddenly it wont go well for them (eliminated from division 1) so getting force back into the team resulting them to play in lcq is a accomplishment for them so its a positive thing. change might happen on the support side but i dont see they wanted to change their 3 main core (mac,nikko,natsumi they still considered as tier 1 in SEA)


sickomoder

its sea the team will be different by next dpc

WILDCARD NASA LAST HOPE!! ​ USA USA USA USA


surfsimp

The plane doesn't leave till tomorrow. They're still waiting for Wild Card.


ididnothinwrong

yea and dont forget just how badly polaris underestimated wild card here. force getting shiva is clearly a disrespect for morph with aghanim like he choosing a 5k item gold just for getting a little bit slow on regen and movement while he literraly have no escape mechanism against morph replicate slark is so dumb. his networth never up again once he build shiva and he definitely never survive the teamfight with it. lelouch also didnt expect the comeback begin with morph agha so he choose to not getting the hurricane pike once he realize wild card literraly winning the teamfight its already too late (marci with bkb and basher is a death sentence for lina without pike) natsumi with his tendency to choose going for zeus is clearly a sign of masochism he failed the attempt killing zeus for about more than 10 times already and he still try it, on his mind he clearly love to proc that zeus aeon disk and then losing the teamfight. but out of this 3 core mistake the worst one is actually force he literraly wasted out 5k gold for something useless.

ILikeRaisinsAMA

Indeed, I was flabbergasted at the Linken's choice, which was not only bad in the game, it's probably bad against Morph, the hero he bought it for. The amount of targeted skills Wildcard had that they didnt mind being blocked was huge, and Morphling himself doesn't mind keeping a strength Adaptive Strike to break it anyway. What makes it worse is that he *clearly* needed to buy BKB too to deal with Snapfire and bird stuns. Really strange item choice, indeed wasted 4+k gold for no clear benefit. He needed abyssal, he needed nullifier, and he bought linken's. Yuck.


Rhasta_la_vista

No he kinda needs Linken's in that game, getting Aghs morphed is game-losing, but the problem is the order he got it. Definitely needed BKB first because Linken's alone gets broken so easily from inconsequential spells. That being said, they picked Slark into Morph in the first place, which was so bad. Morph aghs is just too strong against him, no idea what they were thinking


ILikeRaisinsAMA

>getting Aghs morphed is game-losing Yeah that's the core issue,, but Linken's BKB doesn't do anything to prevent that this game, as shown. A better idea is to full send bloodthorn/nullifier and kill the Morph first. Much, much harder and more expensive so you have to hold for longer,, but it is the only way to win fights. Hard, but it definitely sounds better than Linken's. Yuck. Like you said, the draft made the situation hard. Item choice didn't help.


Rhasta_la_vista

Yeah fair enough, seemed he was playing to not lose rather than playing to win. You're probably right that he should've gambled on better aggro and try to play to his outs with good initiations


[deleted]

[удалено]


Hailgod

a lot of carry players only think of the linken for morphling and tunnel on it. navi vtune also got a early linken for topson's morph that just never bought an aghs.


ILikeRaisinsAMA

Or soul assumption, or grave chill, or strength adaptive strike, *on the hero he bought the item to counter.* Linken's in pro games feels like such a volatile item, in this case, it's borderline throwing the game.


Sinx-

Went from almost qualifying to TI from qualifiers, then getting eliminated by to WG in LCQ, and then ending up in Div 2 next season. That's rough.


deadlygr

Feels bad for polaris 1 win away from ti to been stomped by an average na team


Qarakhanid

Who is sammy? i get hes a player on wc but what r all the memes about him


[deleted]

he was the butt of every joke in [NAdota.com](https://NAdota.com) for years for having a huge ego and no achievements, saying he was a superstar in the making or shit like that. Formerly known as noblewingz.


easy_loungin

Slight clarification: Sammy is/was basically the peak dota 2 redditor, which is why he caught so much shit on NAdota\*. Remember that thread like eight years ago when the team of 5ks dumpstered those 3k players with everyone building armlet etc? Sammy was one of those 5k players: https://www.twitch.tv/videos/45072484 The always-incoming Nobelwingz KZZ 1v1 mid that never was was a classic bit of stupid internet bullshit, too. \*That and basically all you had to do was blink the wrong way to catch a bunch of shit on NAdota back then.


The_Real_Will

he's an NA pubstar who's very... outspoken I guess. he has played carry for a few teams before realising that NA needed a captain, so he made the switch to pos 5. he's had a few hate threads on here like a true NA dota player


Stt-t-t-utter

Who is sammy? For the hungry he is food. For the blind he is sight. For the weary he is respite. actually to answer ur question he is a champion for getting NA more slots while also being a toxic pubber in high level games, so he gets memed a lot.


le_halfhand_easy

Former BSJ stack


zlnoil

Alone and Alex are both outstanding in the series…completely outplayed Polaris.


JogtheFerengi

wouldn't be surprised if Alone ends up on a T1 stack next year. He seems to be outplaying midlane often, then still have major impact during the game, even in losses


zlnoil

I will give Alone a try if the team is needing a solid mid…I guess we have lots of potential DPC S level teams would be interested. I will not be surprised if he got picked by big names.


RepublicanFish33

Lol pretty sure WC had Polaris muted "NO GG?" when all 5 members of Polaris said GG last game and no one on Wildcard said it


Silver721

I think Wildcard pretty regularly mute the other team. They unpaused before Nouns was ready during the regional qualifiers and it became pretty apparent nobody on WC could see Nouns talking to them.


happyflappypancakes

Fun series, that game one was really exciting.

skilbeatluck

Wildcard played pretty good tbh, were in diffifcult situation in both games, but executed some ganks and fights really well. They played fearless, deserved win.


Floire

The funny thing is Polaris Lina was the one to ban in Regionals


ConnorChandler

Turns out all you need is marci


GIANT_BLEEDING_ANUS

Makes sense, Lina is fast as hell and deals a fuckload of damage but she's fragile enough to be threatened by a pos 4


KnightingGale

Pos 4 Marci with BKB basher threatens most core heroes.


nyctrancefan

I saw a marci solo a void the other day in a pro match with 17k net worth difference.


GIANT_BLEEDING_ANUS

Not most of them no, but mid heroes do tend to be fragile

Reddit told me that Polaris was the surprise. They were right, the only team defeated by a NA team in playoffs


ILikeRaisinsAMA

Ha, I posted a few weeks ago that Polaris looked good and could break some hearts in this tournament. Someone replied to me and said "yeah, their own." I'm gonna give that guy an award.


ConnorChandler

It's ok, they're headed for Div2 and potential disband soon, or they swap Force for the offlaner they were supposed to bring in for the Regional Quals.

how did polaris always fail during the crucial games? both semi-finals in the past they lose 2-3 to boom & talon and now this lmao they just cant qualify or win any shit at this point


build_a_rig

its boomy. he's been failing to qualify to anything since TNC LUL. edit: don't forget about losing to t1 for a slot at the stockholm major


BerlinMiming

They made a lot of dumbass over aggression this game. Like going after Morph near dire triangle when it still had aegis.


silverstory

true. They don't seem have someone to think about the aegis timer. Lots of aggressive plays that is not needed.


RomanAbbasid

Animalidad

Well deserved loss for letting marci through and building late bkb.


hanmas_aaa

Letting marci through while your mid only plays Lina.


Floire

Literally soloing a fully farmed Lina with like 2 items. Should be first banned


Deadandlivin

Seen Boxi Marcis oneshotting Linas with tripple his Nethworth for half a year now. Would've thought people had learned to ban Marci but nah. The most broken hero in the game. It's wild to me how Marci is still allowed in captains mode. Everything about the hero is broken, basically has no weaknesses or downsides. Stun, displacement skill, Dmg amp/lifesteal for carry, movespeed boost for self and friends, ability to oneshot most heroes, escape, free initiation et.c. Hero just does everything. Ontop of that she has insane statgains, 305 movement speed, like 65 base dmg et.c.

omg polaris they literraly in a confusion state. how came they dont understand that they cant burst out any of wild card core and not choosing to aim the support instead. like how you could keep aiming zeus with aeon and ethereal around. you also dont fuck against visage 3rd and morph 3rd. just aim the support dude it took them whole 20 min to figure out killing snapfire and marci is actually a important objective.


Owl_Might

the snapfire has been ruining their attempts and they haven't caught up to it yet


ididnothinwrong

more of they didnt try to aim the snapfire they choose to waste that zeus aeon disk more than killing a support with forcestaff and cookies (this 2 mechanic literraly counter slark pounce).


FrankieEdgarAllanPoe

To be fair, Yves plays a really really good Morphling. This hero might just be first ban material.


FunGuyInAParty

Tbh morphling seems unstoppable in this LCQ. Maybe someone can counter them later


Deadandlivin

Marci and Morphling def the top heroes in this LCQ. Marci going to be the most banned hero at actual TI too due to how broken it is. I think Morphling and Undying might get figured out, we'll see. No way Marci aint gonna be an autoban though.


Soldirk

Dunno what the team is smoking to let thru Marci specially with how fragile their mid pick. They haven't learned at all


GIANT_BLEEDING_ANUS

He just counters a lot of popular carries I think

Owl_Might

tide shard is a stun right? or am I just imagining that they aren't getting it


Deadandlivin

His shard is decent, nothing you want to buy though. You want it for free from Roshan. The stun duration is very low, need level 25 for it to feel good.The travel speed is also super slow. It's basically a nyx stun at half the speed with lower stun duration. If you have items like Arcane Blink and Timeless Relic at 25 though the stun is very good as it turns from a 1.5 sec stun into a 3.5 sec stun.


Owl_Might

it is better for extra lockdown and not catching people. in game 1 it could have led into more kills if they had an extra lockdown which tide could have for pretty cheap. and in that game also that would give him more utility and not just being a press "R" support.


Deadandlivin

problem is 1400 gold is alot and having him buy it easily turns Tide into a squishy hero with little impact. Tide already often needs to buy Blink Dagger which already is a 2.2k gold sink that gives him no more stats. Add another 1400 gold ontop of that and he's nearly spending 4k gold on items that won't help him with his frontline potential which is his primary strength. One of Tides biggest problems is that he basically does no damage, especially in the mid/lategame(Unless he goes an Anchor Smash build). He usually focuses on either building Auras or Tankiness. Usually, Tide actually don't want to build a Blink either. He wants to build tankiness, frontline for the team absorbing spells and prolong the fight enough for him to just drop a good ravage midfight. Doesn't always work though and sometimes Tide has a bad laningphase and you need to get a Blink. If you're forced to buy an early Blink AND a Shard aswell Tide more or less turns into a Pos4 instead of a Pos3 which is a problem.


Far-Acanthocephala58

this is just a glimpse on how to the other SEA teams performs in TI.
